The ACT is a load of BS that just measures logic problem skills and speed reading mostly. I got a 34 because I'm naturally gifted at that stuff but I really struggled in school, I think I had below a 3.0 GPA in HS. Didn't get accepted at the U. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he got an 18...

Too many Hurts? He's literally the only one that went to a blue blood from MN in recent years and didn't pan out. Tyus is in the NBA. Gary Trent is in the NBA. Tre Jones is in the NBA. Zeke Nnaji is in the NBA. Suggs is in the NBA. Even kids that didn't go to blue bloods are in the NBA or right...

Lol yeah not a lot of gophers coming from the cities recently. Alexandria, Edina, Hopkins, Woodbury, Orono, Austin, Rochester....very urban! I guess if they went to school at DLS or Cretin that half counts? Jarvis Johnson was the last gopher actually listed as from Minneapolis and he didn't...

As a Jefferson grad, I watched a few games last year to see what he was about. He's not at the level of like a Tyus or Suggs was their freshman year, but few are. He ran the offense well, was disruptive on defense and had enough creation ability to get 8-10 pts a game. Jefferson rarely plays...

Sims was a very solid player his last two years at Texas, definitely would've taken him over Brandon Johnson. Didn't put much on the scoresheet but was a lock down defender and capable rebounder.

Would've been easier for his dad to just gift him the money instead of laundering it through some extremely legit company, but to each their own I guess lol

I mean yes as a professional you can already sell your likeness but being a star player on a top team in March Madness has a much higher visibility than playing in the G League and thus would likely make a higher endorsement income. Would it make up the bonus of a salary in the G-League? That's...

Lol if they are making enough to put them in the sights of the IRS they will certainly hire an accountant to take care of that stuff for them. Do we ever see professional athletes dinged for tax issues? Rarely if ever, don't know why this would be different.

Yeah I dont think the NIL will help the Gophers much. The U isnt a brand here like Nebraska is in Lincoln, Michigan is in Ann Arbor, or Indiana is in Bloomington. Advertising with college athletes will be much more appealing in those places.

Honestly, taking off my laughing at anything that is remotely bad for Wisconsin glasses, I don't think the players or Gard really look bad. It's good for a team to have an open discussion where people lay their grievances on the table and openly discuss solutions. The only person that looks bad...

I mean he might not be a great player in college, you just never know, but all I'm saying is Oturu and Nnaji were both relatively unheralded at the same point in their HS careers. Big men develop slower than guards. I think if you watched Payne play you'd be impressed.

I'm very high on Payne. As mentioned by others, I see him on the same track as Oturu. Zeke Nnaji was the same way. Consistent improvement year over year and now both of those players are in the NBA.

Discussing crime is fine. Rising crime in Minneapolis is an issue that we should seriously talk about. What I have an issue with is him implying that the U is significantly more dangerous than the average college and then implying it is because of "Little Mogadishu and it's criminals" when...

Didn't do much last year for Georgetown but saw him a few times in HS and I think he has potential for sure. Would definitely be excited about him as a pickup. People are saying he's friends with Patrick Baldwin Jr. and might go to Milwaukee though.

Lol yikes. I like that the reasonings for your opinion is one pickpocket incident and blatant racism. I'm a graduate from Duluth in the past five years and had friends go to school around the state. One of my roommates got robbed at gunpoint in Duluth, I had a friend get jumped outside a bar...

Um yeah this is just not true. Take Tyus for example, you can talk to anyone in the MN basketball community and they will say he is a wonderful representative of Minnesota. He spends significant time and money sponsoring youth teams through his AAU program, and financially supports the Twin...

Man, I'd take every single one of these guys. Some turned out better than others but every single one of these players was/is at least a rotation player in a power conference (other than Dainja and Holmgren who haven't played yet but I'm sure they'll be at least that good) That being said...

I think part of it is that maintaining a website is a lot of work. AAU programs main job is advertising their players to college coaches, who go to tournaments to find players, not look at websites.
